Living in Oakville
A lakeside town with big-city access
Oakville stretches along the Lake Ontario shoreline, with waterfront parks, the harbours at Bronte and Oakville, and Bronte Creek Provincial Park. Downtown Oakville and Bronte Village offer boutique shopping and lakeside dining, while Glen Abbey and Sheridan College add golf and education to the mix.
Homes range from lakefront estates and character homes south of the QEW to established family neighbourhoods such as Glen Abbey, River Oaks and West Oak Trails, and newer communities in north Oakville. We help you weigh schools, commute and price per square foot street by street.
